Jade Thorsen — Curve Vase #2

—

Jade Thorsen is a ceramic artist and educator in Gadigal/ Sydney.  She works with stoneware clays and found materials, using multiple firings to create layered textures and colours in her works. Thorsen uses material processes to guide her practice, considering both what they are made of and what they hold over time. She allows time let make each piece to guide its direction and outcome, with a focus on traditional forms that are augmented and reimagined into the present. Her practice is in continuing conversation with her work as a secondary school educator through constant practice alongside and amongst young people, creating a balance between technical skill and play. Thorsen completed an Honors of Industrial Design at RMIT, 2015as well as a Masters of Teaching (Secondary), (UoM, 2019).
